This I write:Spring and leaves grow
To capture the sun
And nurture the tree's trunk
Autumn and the winds take
Leaves to the ground
Weakest first
Wind makes way
For the leaves of spring
And life begins anew
When it is time for me to fall
I hope to look up and see you
Lingering
Stronger than others
Selfish I know.
And this written by another: Epilogue (Author Unknown)
With twig in hand
I wrote in the sand,
"Darling I Love Thee!"
Then a wave from the ocean grey
Washed my token of love away.
Frail twig
Tender letter
Cruel, cruel wave
Ah, but then I would pluck from the forest
The tallest tree
Dip its tip in the molten Vesuvius
And write across the sky
In flaming letters,
"DARLING I LOVE THEE!!"
And I would like to see any damn wave wash that away...
